It's hard to spot fakes these days but a few obvious tips would be to look at the 'R' on the emblems. If It is a straight R then its fake, but if it has a curve to it and an indent in the top of the leg, it's most likely real. Also the lining on the inside. I would only recommend purchasing either from an actual store, or from someone who accepts paypal. That way if it does turn out to be a fake, you can file a claim with paypal and get reimbursed. Hope that helps!
